California has a shot of getting out of the drought, according to some water experts, albeit a very small shot.

"We have a chance of getting out of the drought but we're going to need a lot more water coming out of the sky as both snow and rain for that to happen. Right now, we're a bit optimistic but not so far as we would say that we're going to be out of the drought by the end of this winter season," said Doug Carlson with Department of Water Resources.
